Library solutions provider Atlas Systems, US, has announced that OCLC will extend its suite of resource sharing services with Odyssey 3.0, the new version of Atlas' free stand-alone electronic delivery software. Odyssey is said to complement the OCLC ILLiad Resource Sharing Management Software that was developed by Atlas Systems and is now distributed by OCLC.
The stand-alone version of Odyssey allows sites to send and receive electronic documents to and from other Odyssey sites, OCLC ILLiad sites, and any other supplier's software that supports the Odyssey protocol. In addition, Atlas has purportedly made it easier to set up and administer Odyssey in a bid to make the free software more attractive.
Atlas Systems is a software development company founded in July 1995 with the mission of developing library automation to "promote library excellence through efficiency." Its products include the ILLiad Resource Sharing Management Software, in use in over 1,100 libraries and now distributed by OCLC. Atlas has also introduced Ares, an electronic reserves solution, and Aeon, an online request and workflow management system specifically designed for special collections libraries and archives.
